First Impression: Crackdown 2

by David Liao · July 11th, 2010 · 20 Comments

I don’t know how it happened but somehow they messed it up. They managed to take a great formula and instead of adding the polish and gloss it needed, they mutated it and distorted it, almost to the point where it’s unrecognizable. I’m of course talking about Crackdown 2. A game which it’s original design [...]

An Open Letter to Mario

Dear Mario We’ve been friends for almost my entire life.  I guess you can say that we grew up together. You’ve been a defining part of some of my earliest memories…you were just…always there.  It’s funny but, thinking about it, I simply cannot recall a moment of my life when I didn’t know you.  I [...]

Article Written by Draslushee Original Forum Post Submit Your Own Editorial Way back in the past of video games, when games were cased in blocks instead of discs and “amazing graphics” meant making your characters out of smaller blocks than anyone else, we had a few things that we just don’t have today.

Does anyone remember playing games when they were ten? Maybe Poke’mon Blue, Super Metroid, Metal Gear Solid, or Panzaar Dragoon Saga were on your frequently played or top ten list. Well let me explain to those who have such lists why the games they have chosen are there.

If you’ve walked into a Gamestop recently you might have seen the above.  Its what I was greeted with about a week ago and it currently occupies the first 2 shelves of the New Releases section. Prepare for a lot more of this.  Particularly disheartening is that the very first game on those shelves is Kinectimals. [...]

The Last Story gameplay footage at last!

by Brad Simons · July 9th, 2010 · 15 Comments

Back in the 80s, a struggling Japanese company called Square made one last effort to become a successful video game developer. Presumed to be the last project they would ever work on, the game was called Final Fantasy. And the director was Hironobu Sakaguchi. Over 20 years later Sakaguchi’s current studio, Mistwalker, is most likely [...]

The 3DS and handedness

by Ben Alford · July 8th, 2010 · 23 Comments

In reading an interview with Masahiro Sakurai (Kirby, Super Smash Bros.) on Wired.com’s GameLife, one of my fears about the design of Nintendo’s forthcoming portable, the 3DS, was realized. Sakurai describes the controls for Kid Icarus: Uprising: “The controls are really boiled down to three separate devices on the 3DS: The slide pad for movement, [...]

My history with Halo is rocky. I bought an Xbox to play this amazing game that everyone was talking about only to play it for an hour and then turn it off to do other things. It wasn’t until last year’s spin-off, Halo ODST that I finally understood the reverence behind the series. In my [...]

Since I own way more DSi Ware games than anyone probably should, and because they get almost zero coverage around the net, I figure I should start a new feature. I will discuss my recent DSiWare purchases in an effort to show everyone that it isn’t just a dumping ground for shovelware. And while this [...]
